Hey guys we only had to do 5 blogs right? Ok hopefully 'cuz its Sunday and I really don't want to be writing right now so hopefully this is my last blog til later this week.
OK, so last trimester I was in Best Sellers ( a class where you read whatever you want and still get credit for it) and I stumbled across this book when I had some extra time. While I was reading it I was really into it and I was reading almost every single day. When I forgot my book at home I was so sad. That's how much I loved it.
For those of you who may not know Maya Angelo is a very well known poet and actress. She's been in a lot of movies, and her stories are really well written. I don't read a lot of non-fiction 'cuz the only real non-fiction I've really read has been in science textbooks and history text books. I didn't even realize her book "Why the Caged Bird Sings," was about her until I finally caught on OOooooo...the main characters name is Maya...wow. Some parts REALLY caught me off gaurd. I can not believe some of the horrible things she had to go through.
AnywaysI loved it because the book it self is a very interesting story and the sensory details, imagery and metaphors in this book are so good it makes you anticipate more. Great read. I won't disclose a summary so you can read it, but here's a link below with the details of this amazing autobiography.
